I had a lower body lift on 1/24. My surgeon submitted request for approval for abdomniplasty along with documentation that I had accumulated showing four months of PCP notes on rashes and Aetna approved me with no problem. Since surgeon was out of network, Aetna payed 70% of surgeon fee, plus OR costs and 23 hrs of hospitaliation. I paid the difference.

I live in PA and Aetna approved me based on "a weight loss > 100 pounds and a panni that hangs to or below the pubic bone". I also "upgraded" to an entire LBL by paying the difference.
